Topics: Classic TV, Television, Variety Series, Variety Show, 1950s, 50s, Fifties, Blab, Blabs, Blabbermouth, Arthur Godfrey,

An unusual episode of "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts". Arthur, as usual, blabs a lot during the episode. His guests include an unfortunately-named singing trio, a pianist, and an opera singer. Before each segment Arthur blabs a lot. Also includes the original commercial! That's not a typo! Just one commercial during the entire 30 minutes! Wow!

Subject: Interesting story about this show

This was shortly after Arthur had hip replacement surgery, still experimental at the time, and CBS told him to do the show from home rather than travel to NYC. They set up a microwave link to send the show from his farm to CBS, very high tech at the time.

Whatever you think of his behind the scenes shenanigans, I believe Godfrey was one of the best communicators of his time and set a standard for all of us in the media to follow today

Subject: Thoughts on More Talent Scouts?

Hi! I'm researching an obscure comedian who was on a different 1953 episode and I was wondering if you have suggestions as to where I might find others?

Thanks!
